Warhammer: Battle March

A merely decent PC RTS based on the Warhammer Fantasy universe stumbles badly in the transition to the Xbox 360. Read Review

This Xbox 360 version of the hit strategy game includes the original content from Warhammer: Mark of Chaos and its Battle March expansion as well as all-new features, intuitive control schemes and support for online play via the Xbox LIVE online entertainment network.

Thrusting players into Games Workshop's renowned fantasy world, players will be able to control six unique armies – the Empire, Chaos, Skaven, High Elves as well as the all-new Dark Elf and Orcs & Goblins forces – as they battle for supremacy in a world torn apart by constant warfare. The individual units of each army can be customized in great detail, allowing players to put their own mark on their fighting force and strike fear into their opponents with terrifying combinations of weaponry and armor. Players can also control Heroes and Champions for each army, high-powered units that gain new abilities as they tear through the opposition. On Xbox LIVE, up to four players can engage in massive multi-army clashes in head-to-head and team-based modes of play.
